Breakfast Banana Smoothie



As I have said it's January and everyone is trying to be healthy including me so what better way to start your day than with a seriously delicious smoothie! This filling smoothie is perfect for a breakfast on the go and it will keep you going all morning as well as giving you a healthy start to the day. 

For this tasty and energising smoothie you will need:

1 medium banana, chopped
125 ml of skimmed milk
Handful of ice cubes
1 tbsp. honey
1/8 of a tsp of ground nutmeg
3 tbsp. of Greek yogurt or low fat yogurt
2 tsp of rolled oats or granola (optional)

Combine the first five ingredients in a blender, process for 2 minutes until smooth. Add the yoghurt and extras if you are having any until completely blended. Serve immediately. Its as simple as that! You can also try this recipe with a variety of fruit - strawberries, raspberries, peaches, pears, or blueberries. You could also use low fat fruit yogurt instead of milk for a creamier and thicker consistency.

  3. I'm not a breakfast person, the thought of eating first thing makes me feel sick, but I am starting a healthy eating plan soon and I know I will have to start doing breakfast. This is perfect for me as it's more of a drink, thanks for sharing :) #KCACOLS

  4. Sound like a great recipe. I am alway shy to ask this - what does nutmeg do? My boy loves milkshake so I think I will give it a try. Thank you for linking with me at #FabFridayPost x

    1. I like to add nutmeg to sweeten the taste of my smoothie especially if my banana is not quite ripe!!! But if nutmeg is not your thing I am more than sure you could add other ingredients. I did try cinnamon the other morning, it was very tasty!!! :) My little lady loves to share my smoothie, I think I'll have to make a whole one for her soon. Thank you so much for hosting and for your comments! 💛

  8. This looks and sounds yummy!! I love banana. I have been doing banana smoothies at home too but I do it with strawberries and orange juice so no milk. It actually tastes delicious as the strawberry gives it the sweetness that you need. Thanks so much for sharing this at #KCACOLS. I'm so happy to have you for the first time! I hope that you like it! I would love to see you again on Sunday! :-) x
